Supplement to broadsheet: new new zealand poetry no. 12 Index to the Star Poets of Christchurch 1922-26 and Field Notes by Mark Pirie (Includes notes on poets: Bessie L Heighton, Una Auld/Una Currie, Ida M Lough/Ida M Withers, R D Brown, T E L Roberts, H H Heatley, H S Gipps, A Stanley Sherratt, Beryl Windsor, Grace Ross, E A Irwin, W J McKellow, Dorothy Reed, E F Owen, Aline Dunn, Sadie Uanson, G R Butler, Honor Gordon Coster/Honor Gordon Holmes, Pearl Noonan and H Tillman) Published by The Night Press, Wellington ISSN 1178-7805 (Print) ISSN 1178-7813 (Online) Publisher’s Note This supplement to the special issue of broadsheet, no. 12, includes the full index to the Star Poets of Christchurch 1922-26 and the stats relating to their contributions to The Star. It should be noted that I may have missed a few poems here and there as I’ve only checked Saturday publications of The Star for these years, and I can’t be certain that there weren’t occasional midweek publications of poems. Some issues like the supplement to Saturday 2 August 1924 were missing (in micro film runs) and it’s likely Sherratt’s 25th Polynesian legend (of the 30) appeared that weekend. I’ve only included local NZ poets in the Index from the Saturday poetry page 'Among the Poets'. Overseas poets appeared as well, reproduced from overseas magazines and collections. These overseas poets are not in the Index. There were also two regular (unsigned) doggerel columns: 'Spindrifts' and 'Things Thoughtful' and I've not indexed these columns. Also included are field notes. The notes provide all information gathered on 19 of the poets. The information is from official sources such as Papers Past (National Library of NZ’s digital archive), Archives NZ, NZ Electoral Rolls, Births, Deaths and Marriages, regional city council cemetery databases, TAPUHI (Turnbull Library Index), and the NZ Marriages CD-ROM, the NZ Biographies Index and the NZ National Bibliography and Online Catalogue at the National Library of New Zealand. Thanks to Rowan Gibbs and Niel Wright for assistance with this publication.

    Letters to the Editor Guidelines

    Letters to the editor Guidelines Do you feel strongly about a child poverty issue? Write a letter to the editor using our simple letter writing techniques, list of email addresses and examples of sample letters (family income assistance, housing, health, education, gambling etc): • All newspapers require your name, personal address and daytime telephone number. • Do not send your letter as an attachment. Use cut and paste. • Check the word length accepted by the newspaper (usually around 150 words). Longer letters may be published but could be edited in a way you do not agree with. • The brevity of letters means you can only make one or two points. Make sure your arguments are set out in a logical way. • Get someone unfamiliar with the issue to read the letter – does it make sense to that person? • Stick to the issues and avoid personal attacks (even if you are responding to a personal attack). • Try to respond to an issue as soon as possible. • Proofread your letter carefully and check your word length. • Letters can be emailed –put letter to the editor in the subject line. • If you have any questions or want a letter to the editor checked, email [email protected] Email addresses of main daily papers Letter to editor in subject line/cut and paste text Ashburton Guardian [email protected] Bay of Plenty Times [email protected] Dominion Post [email protected] Daily News [email protected] Daily Post [email protected] Gisborne Herald [email protected] Greymouth Evening Star [email protected] Hawkes Bay Today

    James Macandrew of Otago Slippery Jim Or a Leader Staunch and True?

    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

    Summer Scenes and Flowers: the Beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas Card, 1880-1882

    Summer Scenes and Flowers: The Beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas Card, 1880-1882 Peter Gilderdale Keywords: #Christmas traditions #card sending #New Zealand identity #cultural colonisation #photography In October 1883, just as New Zealanders began the annual ritual of buying seasonal tokens of esteem to post overseas, Dunedin’s Evening Star, quoting local photographers the Burton Brothers, posed a question that had exercised immigrants for some years. “Does it not seem folly,” the paper asked “to send back to the Old Country Christmas cards which were manufactured there and exported hither?”1 This was a rhetorical question and the Evening Star went on to respond that “a few years since we should have replied ‘No’; but in view of the experiences of the last two years we say most decidedly, ‘Yes, it is folly.’” The newspaper, clearly, saw the period of 1881 and 1882 as pivotal in the establishment of a small but important industry, the New Zealand Christmas card business.2 My paper examines why these years are significant and what lies behind the debate, identifying a number of early cards and documenting the accompanying developments, primarily via the lens of newspaper advertising. The 1880s Christmas card may not have been an industry on the scale of lamb, but what it lacked in bulk it made up for in symbolism, providing a discrete window into the web of entangled emotional, commercial and design imperatives that attended the way immigrants imagined and constructed this important cultural celebration. 5 For European immigrants to New Zealand, now as well as then, the This newly reframed Christmas provides the context within move to the other side of the world has an unwelcome side-effect.

    Celebrating Ettie Rout Sexual Health Pioneer

    2013 Celebrating Ettie Rout Sexual Health Pioneer Ettie Annie Rout 1877 – 1936 The NZVS badge, on her lapel, stands for New Zealand Volunteer Sisterhood Margaret Sparrow Tribute by Margaret Sparrow [Type the company name] 5/1/2013 June0 2013 ETTIE ROUT’S SIGNIFICANCE IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR Ettie was a woman well ahead of her time. Single handedly she promoted ‘safer sex’ with the Australian and New Zealand troops of the First World War before that term was ever used. She argued strongly that venereal diseases were a medical and not a moral problem. She campaigned for the issue of prophylactics for troops going on leave, early treatment of infections and safe brothels. After researching what would be the most effective means of prevention (which would not have been easy for a non-medical person) she included the following items in the prophylactic kit: calomel ointment (containing mercury) or vaseline to be applied before sex, Condy’s crystals (potassium permanganate) an antiseptic solution for bathing or irrigation after sex, and condoms. At that time condoms were either made of vulcanised rubber (thick) or animal membrane (thin). This was in the era before antibiotics and early treatment was the army’s strategy. Preferably as soon as feasible and certainly within 12-24 hours of having sex, men were instructed to go to a ‘blue light’ centre where they were treated with disinfectant forced up the urethra. Irrigation equipment for treatment of gonorrhoea in France (1914-1918) from JD Oriel, The Scars of Venus Pg200. Ettie’s kit was sometimes referred to as an ET outfit, the ET standing for ‘Early Treatment’.

    Power of the Pen! by Tony Orman

    Power of the Pen! by Tony Orman William Shakespeare once wrote, “The power of the pen is mightier than the sword.” It is true. Let me explain. Letters to the editor column is powerful. Thousands read the letter. Politicians and departmental bureaucrats get a "clipping" service to send them news items and letters from newspapers. In short, writing a letter to an editor is relatively easy and a very effective way in getting a viewpoint to either the decision-makers and/or the many thousands of readers of a daily newspaper. Letters to the editor are a very effective way to communicate your concern to a large number of people. Importantly putting the issue out into the arena of public debate focuses the attention of readers to the matter. The audience may be large. In the case of a metropolitan paper of 150,000 copies printed, the number of readers may be three per individual newspaper. Newspapers go into a home where two, three, four or more people may read it. In a workplace in the canteen, a dozen or more people may read it. Assume a factor of three people read each paper on average. That means 150,000 copies have a potential readership of 450,000!! The letters to the editor section is widely read, probably far more than any other section. Government departments, politicians and agencies, regularly peruse the letters to the editor columns to gauge public thinking. In fact, press clipping services are frequently employed to note relevant subject areas for clients. Your letter to the editor will sooner or later end up on the desk of a cabinet minister or department.
